Interview Dates

[bob72601 13]

I just checked our status at ceac.state.gov and it told me: U.S. Department of State

IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION

In Transit

Immigrant Visa Case Number: SDO2013860XXX

Your case is in transit to the Consular Section. Your interview date was provided to you by the National Visa Center.

So I called the NVC and asked for the interview date. They told me they DO NOT provide the date and that I would have to call the consulate. I then asked why the website was telling me this and they had no idea. Said it was wrong. When I talked to the supervisor he was not forthcoming with an answer either.

So, do we have to wait for the case to arrive in SDO and then they assign the date? And then do they tell you date or do we have to call them?

Post this in the DR portal. This is an local issue now. You'll get better help in the portal.

Additionally, contact the Consulate and ask your question. Remember, the Consulate can not answer specific questions about your case, but they can answer general question on procedures.

Congratulations!! This just means; you are on your way!!

The Embassy will schedule your Interview after they have received your package from USCIS/NVC.

For a more thorough explanation please read the DR Specific post here:

MrTee12's Post# 72 What to Do after receiving your NOA2

Excerpt from above post:

http://santodomingo....structions.html (MOST IMPORTANT!!!!)

Additionally, follow the steps here. Again, it's a lot but, it’s worth it! After your case is forwarded to the Consulate in Santo Domingo most people just wait “unsure” of what’s going on. For you to get valid information just wait 1-2 weeks after receiving your NVC notice and call (toll-free) to the Visa Specialist (Department of State) in Washington D.C. (202-485-7600). Press Option 1 then Option 0 to speak to a visa specialist. (Do not waste your money calling the Consulate or the Pay-Per-Service Hotline number). The Visa Specialist will tell you when your case was mailed to the beneficiary and when your interview (Cita) date is scheduled.

My case arrived to sdo on nov 21, and they asigned my interview day just yesterday dec 30.

So you need to wait more than 10 days to get your interview date, anyway you can e-mail them , they answer quick.

[Ilovemyman 147]

The messagevthat you get from nvc on ceac, it is a general message, tgey type that message to everybody about the interview.

Here in sdo you have to wait tgat the consulate asign the date.

You can see diferents timelines, and ckeck that after the case arrive to dr , they schedule the interview for 3 or four months after arriving.

You can calcel and reschedule, but you can send medical papers to show that you cant travel.

Any way they arent going to cancel the petition, if they dont approve they will give him an oppent apoinment until you can come, but if you send doctors papers I think he can go alone and be successful
